The list is accurate but it's a stretch to say people are more trusting of the products. They are just cheaper where I come from. Not a purchase made by informed consumers but ones looking to save a buck.

At the top it says "Translated by..." I guess that's what the original article must have indicated. I think many people around the world...at least in the west still seem quite skeptical of chinese made goods. But after having been to the middle east and other countries, certain chinese electronics are used alot there.

google is rich based on perceived value of the company stock, but apple has 264 billion in cold hard cash. perception is not always reality.

Sidenote: Google has replaced Apple as the richest Company in the world...Sending notice to china that their markets are no longer critical to the world's riches. Google has been banned in china for years, while Apple has made much noise about their dependency on chinese markets.
